Light & Wonder has once again pulled back the curtain on the Land of Oz, unveiling The Wizard of Oz – Follow the Yellow Brick Road, the second title in its growing Wizard of Oz digital slot series. The game, launched in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences, is available exclusively on BetMGM Casino in New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ontario.
The new release arrives just months afterThe Wizard of Oz – Over the Rainbow made its online debut in April 2025, quickly becoming one of BetMGM’s standout slot titles. The success of that initial launch set the stage for the franchise’s digital expansion, with Light & Wonder reimagining the beloved 1939 film for online audiences through rich visuals, cinematic soundscapes, and engaging bonus features.
From Silver Screen to Digital Reels
The newest entry in the series, Follow the Yellow Brick Road, invites players to experience Dorothy’s fantastical journey like never before. The 5-reel, 40-payline slot showcases interactive bonus features, expanding wilds, and a variety of jackpots—all designed to draw players deeper into the magical world of Oz.
Beloved characters including Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, and the Scarecrow all make appearances, ensuring fans of the original film feel right at home. Meanwhile, the game’s high-quality design elements, from immersive audio to animated visuals, ensure a modern and compelling slot experience.
Light & Wonder’s strategy of translating proven retail hits into successful online properties has been central to the franchise’s rollout. With Wizard of Oz-themed slot machines long established as player favorites in physical casinos, this cross-platform approach is helping the brand reach new audiences in regulated digital markets.
April’s Launch Set the Stage
April's Over the Rainbow game gave online players their first taste of Oz-themed slot gameplay, complete with Glinda the Good Witch’s random Wild reel enhancements, State Fair symbols that triggered Balloon Jackpots worth up to 100x the stake, and the potential for a 1,000x jackpot when five Over the Rainbow jackpot symbols landed on a spin.
The feature-rich gameplay, including respins and character-driven surprises, immediately resonated with players, contributing to its rapid rise within BetMGM’s content library.
Responsible Gaming and Broader Growth
As with all games distributed through Light & Wonder’s content marketplace, the Wizard of Oz titles are integrated with responsible gaming measures to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience for players.
This dual-slot release also aligns with the company’s broader strategic goals. Light & Wonder has reported consistent performance growth, including 16 consecutive quarters of revenue increases. In Q1 2025 alone, revenue rose to $774 million, with adjusted EBITDA climbing 11% to $311 million.
The partnership with BetMGM not only reinforces Light & Wonder’s presence in the regulated North American iGaming market but also underscores its commitment to leveraging iconic IP in ways that captivate modern players. With more Wizard of Oz titles planned for 2025 and 2026, BetMGM users can expect more journeys through Oz in the near future.
